Drascombe Coaster
The Drascombe Coaster is a small cruising yacht. based upon the hull of the Longboat. With the addition of the cabin the rig has been slightly reduced, providing an ideal long weekender for two people, with longer cruising available for the more adventurous.
The cabin provides two full length berths, together with toilet facilities and plenty of storage space. With the addition of a sprayhood and a tent, another two berths can be provided.
A 5 - 6hp outboard engine is recommended to supplement the 164 square foot sail area, and as with most of the range sits within a well allows easy and swift raising when not in use. The centre plate sits within a integral trunk and is operated by a winch from the cockpit.
As with all of the Drascombe range the Coaster can be easily launch and recovered by one person using the swinging trailer design and the boat can be trailed or left on a mooring.
